About this listen

In this episode, Melanie and Vicky guide you through the Chinese grammar point **一下 (yíxià)** — used to show a short action or to make requests sound more polite and softer.

We’ll also explore the trending internet slang **抽象 (chōuxiàng)**. What does it mean when young people say someone is “抽象”? Why is it so popular in memes and online chats? You’ll hear examples and jokes you won’t find in textbooks!
